Seeing people guess "Get Lucky" made me want to swap out Drakes' "Headlines" for that one, so I did since it's well before the deadline.

This was really hard to whittle down to just 14 songs. Here goes!

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger
One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful
Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks
Mumford & Sons - I Will Wait
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
fun. - We Are Young
Skrillex - Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites
Psy - Gangnam Style
Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop
LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem
Justin Timberlake - Suit and Tie
Daft Punk - Get Lucky

I even worked out some of the transitions between the songs. In my head, it's a great medley! :#

Do we only get points if we correctly guess the number spot where the song appears in the medley? Like if I had the order exactly right, except there was an additional first song that I didn't predict, would I get no order points?
Additionally, will we get points if there are 13 or 15 songs in the medley, but we correctly identify the closer?
